Meru leaders back Ruto’s call for end to regional politics
A section of Meru leaders have backed President William Ruto on the call for an end to regional and tribal politics.
The leaders told journalists at a presser in Parliament on Tuesday that they will focus beyond the Mt Kenya region.
They differed with DP Rigathi Gachagua who recently asked MPs to stick to their constituencies.
“If we say other areas should not get development, we will be wrong,” Igembe South MP Paul Mwirigi, who led the team, said.
He was flanked by MPs Rahim Dawood, Dorothy Ikiara, Mpuru Aburi, Julius Taituma, Dan Kili and Moses Kirema.
“Merus are everywhere. We are national leaders. If we are needed anywhere, we will go,” Mwirigi said.
The leaders said they will equally not take a position on the one-man-one-shilling campaign fronted by leaders allied to the deputy president.
The leaders, however, denied the existence of a split between Ruto and Gachagua.
